neither the bird, the cat not the horse

WHAT IS HYPNOTISM?
One of Scronton's Well-known Physi
cians Says It Is Nothing Mors Nor Loss
Than Animal Magnetism.
Dr. F. B. iSmlth, of this city,
writes to The Tribune as follows: "In
a recent issue of tho Republican there
appeared an editorial on 'Hypnotism
or Hypnotic Suggestion,' which went
on to say that the physicians of Scran
ton had been consulted and some few
of them had stated that It would be at
least fifty years before physicians
could make any use of this method of
healing with satisfactory results. It is
not my Intention to say anything detri
mental to my brothers ad professlo, but
simply to enlighten the public in gen
eral. Considering the advancement
that hns been made In hypnotism by
most of our physicians, it would tnke
a thousand years before they could
make use of It. Hypnirtlsm or animal
magnetism Is a mighty power, and by
the majority one more honored In the
breach than the observance. It re
quires years of hard study and devo
tion to learn the science of healing by
this mighty power; also a man of
strong muscular nnd nerve strength
to apply It successfully.
"Any physician who In acquainted
with this wonderful power and knows
how to properly apply It Is aware of the
fact that It Is not necessary to hypno
tize his patient to bring about a cure.
Hypnotism, or more properly called
animal magnetism, Is a science, while
tho practice of medicine Is only nn
art, and has lieen so decided. This prin
ciple of animal magnetism being coeval
with man's existence. It doubtless lay
at the foundation of the otherwise in
explicable, mysterious nnd miraculous.
In the life and religions of ancient peo
ple. Among the Hebrews and Assyri
ans these means were resorted to in
the cure of dlseaso.
"Namnan snld: 'I thought he would
stand up, and strllto his hand over tho
place and recover tho leper' (II Kings,
v, II).
Tha Apposition of Hands.
"Spiritual powers, gifts of healing,
prophecy nnd leadership wore also con
veyed by the apimslthm of tho hnnds.
'Tho Lord said unto Moses, Take
Joshua, tho son of Nun, a mnn on whom
In the spirit, and lay thy hands upon
him. Set him before the priests and
congregation, and nsk counsel fur him.
And he laid his hands upon him ns the
Lord commanded' (Numbers, xxvll. 1K
tft. 'And Joshua wn;l full of the spirit of
wisdom because Moses lind laid his
hands upon him.' Innumerable pass
ages could bo quoted from the snored
books of the Hebrews In support of the
prnottce, some of ths effects approxi
mating more to ths Incidents of modern
spiritualism than to purely mesmeric
phenomena. Henllng by the applica
tion of tho hands wns common among
the Jews, and -was practiced by tho
B'ounder of Christianity and Ills Imme
diate followers. 'Many wero astonished
that such mighty works were
wrought by Ills hands' (Mark, vl, 2).
'Lay hands upon the sick and they shall
recover' (Mark, xvl, 18).
"As Illustrative of what I wish to
point out. In the light of modern science
held Inconsistently by professng Chris
tians, Namaan, if cured, wo cured
by nothing more or less than hypnotism
or animal magnetism. While Hippo
crates Is supposed to be the 'father
of medicine,' Esculaplus really de
serves this soubriquet., esculaplus
delivered oracles In a dream for the
cure of his patients. He breathed on
the diseased parts or allayed pain by
the application of his hands and often
the application of his hands and often,
patients Into long and refreshng sleep
for tha recovery of health. There can !
be no doubt that the effects produced
In these and In similar instances were
Identical In character with the mng
niotlo phenomena of today.
Magnetism's Curatlvo Value.
"Magnetism Is active everywhere and
has nothing new but tho name. It Is
a paradox only to those who ridicule
everything nnd attribute to tho power
of Satan whatever ithoy themselves aro
unablo to explain. Wlno physicians are
Mara how bcncllcla! to the blood it la
to make slight frictions with the hands
over tho body. It Is believed by many
experienced doctors that tho heat
which oozes from the hand on being ap
plied to tho sick. Is highly salutary nnd
Bunging. This remedy has been founil
to bo beneficial to sudden as well ns
habitual pulns. It huH oflen Mppnrod
wbllo I have lieen thus treating my
patients that there was xomo singular
proorty In my bands to pull and draw
nway from the aiTeetcd parts aches and
U'vcrs Impuiiileg by rppiylng my
hiindrt to the ulTuctcd parts and extend
ing my fingers toward it. Thus It Is
known to some of the learned physi
cians that health may bo Implanted In
the sick by certain, gestures and by con
tact ns somo discuses) may bo com
municated from, one to another.
"About nine years ngo a wealthy
young man nnd a philanthropist by th
mimn of Von Humboldt graduated with
high honors from Lelpslc. lie moved
to Nancy, France, and erected a hos
pital nt his own expense, whero be
treated dlsonse magnet leully, free of
charge. Invalids that had la-en pro
nounced Incurable nt tho medical hos
pitals at Nancy Hocked to him In great
numbers, and were cured of their in
llrmltlcH. Finally the faculty of the
college waited on him In a body. They
were received by the young (lerman
wllh nil respect due tlio medical pro
fession. Ho cheerfully Instructed them
In the science of mngnotlsm or hyp
not l suggestion. Two of the number
possessed the natural gift of healing.
They returned to their own hospital
and performed many wonderful cures.
Many of these cures were reported to
the London Lancet, At Inst the atten
tion of itlio celebrated Dr. Tooky, of
London, and om of 1ho editors of .the
Lancet were attracted by these notices.
They visited Nnncy and received thor
ough Instruction In henllng by this
wonderful power. Thoy both possessed
the natural gift of henllng and re
turned with the most gratifying re
sults. The cures performed by them
were also reported to the Lancet. In
duo time the attention of the late Tro
fessor Charcot, of the Salpetrler hos
pital at Purls, was attracted by these
notices and Immediately he went to
Nancy, where he also received a thor
ough course of Intitructlons. On his re
turn to Paris tho wonderful cures he
performed were such that he could not
remain silent. For years he had been
bl'teiiy opposed to .this mode of treat
ment, but his first article published In
tho Lancet was an ample apology, his
headline being, 'For Mo to llemaln
Silent Longer Would Be Criminal.'
"At tho next meeting of the Hrltish
National Medical association the mot
powerful medical Institution in tho
world, tho subject of hoaling disease by
animal magnetism was taken up, thor
oughly discussed and under the name
of hypnotic suggestion was accepted
and adopted as one of the most power
ful agents known to the healing art for
the euro of disease. During the past
eights years over fifty books hnve
been written on .this subject, and It Is
no longer a disgrace for any physi
cian who has the natural gift nnd
power to use It to put It Into pratlce."

An Appropriate Mcctliig Place.
There Is nn appropriateness In tho
rtepubllean league of tho United Ktnts
meeting In convention In Ohio, for tho
leaguo movement Is another of tho
many "Ohio Ideas" which have made
the llnckeye state famous. By general
consent, tho credit of originating the
present league movement Is given to
James I'.oyle, now private secretary of
Governor McKinley, In tho fall of 18S3,
during tho noted gubernatorial cam
paign of Honorable J. II. Foraker, Mr.
Doyle, who was on the editnral staff
of tho Cincinnati Commercial, Gazette,
sent a communication to tho chairman
of tho election committee of the Cincin
nati Young Men's Ulaino club, suggest
ing the organization of a State league
of nil .the permanent Ilepublicsn clubs
In Ohio. Tho directors favored the
Idea, and a special committee was ap
pointed to carry It Into effect. Mr.
Boyle was made chairman of the com
mittee. The first thing he did was to
secure endorsements from the leaders
of tho party In Ohio.
Subsequently, nt a meeting of the rep
resentatives of tho Young Men's Blnlne
club, tho Lincoln club, the Sherman
club, of Cincinnati, and of the clubs of
the Twelfth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth
wards of that city, Mr. Eoyle was au
thorized, In the name of those organiza
tions, to call a conference to nssemble
In the office of tho secrctnry of state,
Columbus, at C p. m., Jan. 11, lRj-0. when
J. B. Forakor was Inaugurated gover
nor, to consider the question of the
formation of a league of nil permanent
Itepublican clubs In the state. The con
ference wns very Inrgely attended, nnd
It was unanlmouslyand enthusiastically
resolved to form a State league, and a
committee was appointed to draft a
constitution. Mr. Boyle wns made
chairman of the committee, and after a
great deal of trouble and consideration,
a constitution was framed.
Ohio State I.cnguo Organized.
Acting by authority of tho conference
of clubs referred to above, a call was
Issued on Juno 28, ISSB, by James Iloyl",
chairman, nnd IMchard J. Fanning, sec
retary of tho committee on organiza
tion, for tho first convention of the
Ohio Itepublican league, to bo held nt
Columbus, Aug. 2", ISSli, nt the Oarlleld
club rooms, Columbus. Honorable
Pnnlcl J. Hyan, .then the representative
In tho legislature from Scioto county,
wns elected the first president of the
league.
Thus was organized nn tho SSth of
August, ISSli, tho first fitato league of
Itepublican clubs. The constitution of
the Ohio State league, as originally
formed, has been materially changed
since tlyn, and has been made the
model of nearly nil of the State leagues
throughout the country. Tho "Ohio
Idea" rapidly spread In tho east nnd
west.
The development of the. state league
Into Ihe National league Is to bo placed
to tho credit of the "Itepublican club"
of tho city of New York. At .1 call
of that organization, a national conven
tion of Slnto leagues, nnd of Individual
clubs throughout the country, was held
nt Chlckerlng hnll, New York city, on
IVc. IT., 1B and 17, 1887, nnd Ihe Itepub
lican league of the United Slates was
then and there formed. Honorable
Daniel J. Ilyan, president of tho Ohio
Statu league, was made vlee president
of tho convention, nnd Mr. Boyle wns
made chnlrmnn of tho committee on
national organization, which reported
tho original constitution of the rtepub
llean league of tho United States, nnd
the Ohio plan of state organization was
recommended ns tho model for other
state leagues.
Tho City of Cleveland.
Ono of t,lio mo-it Interesting features
of, tho coming league convention will
bo tho opportunity It will afford to vis
itors to study tho city of Cleveland
Itself, nnd Its. picturesque surroundings.
Cleveland h) a spacious city. Its nrea
Is about thirty square miles. It hns a
frontage of some seven miles upon the
lake. The dlstnnoo between the ex
treme points within Its limits Is nbout
ten miles oast nnd west, nnd seven
miles north and south. It mny be seen
from theso ilgures thnt Its citizens do
not need to elbow ono another. Though
It hns Increased Iji population more rap
idly than any other western city In the
country, with the exception of Chicago,
thero nre very few of Its more than
twenty-threo hundred streets which can
be snld to bo overcrowded. According
to the eleventh census, only seventeen
per cent, of its population lived over ten
In a house, whllo In, New York tho per
centage reached elghty-threo and one
third. It Is this ronmj' Character of the
city which Is one of Its most delight
ful features.
Cleveland hns had a phenomonnl
growth. As lata ns 1S25 it was still
only a modest hnmlet of 150 souls. It
was not until ,S.10 that It had passed
the thousand mark. From that timo Its
growth began in earnest.. According td
the federal census, the population In
1840 was 6,071 ; in 1850, 17,034; In 18G0,
43,830; in 1870, 92.829; in 1880, 160,146, and
in 1890, 261,560.. At the present time, the
population probably exceeds 340,000, At j
this rate of Increase, Cleveland will
enter tho twentieth century with 430,000
citizens. In IHM), It was the twenty-Ilfth
olty In the United States; In' 1K0, tho
twentieth; In 1S70, tho fifteenth; In 11180,
tho eleventh, und In 1X00, tho tenth.
Its Alnny Attractions.
Thero Is, perhnps, no city of lis size
In tho country so singularly attractive.
Tho proximity of tho Inlte, wllh Its
ever-chunglng UHpocts, and delicious
breezes tempering the hottest of rays;
tho broad avenues, so embowered with
foliage ns to have given, Cleveland tho
nsine of tho Forest City; the countless
lovely homes, with their green lawns;
the picturesque resorts, nnd tho rare
points of Interest, render It a most
charming place to vb'lt In the summer
months. It Is its manifold attractions
and facilities of access by land and sea
which have tnado Cleveland a favorite
convention city. To meet the ever-Increasing
demands upon hospitality, the
city's hotel capacity has been more than
doubled during thu last few years, and
today It boasts of n number of hosti-l-rb
s which are the peers of any. Tho
lending ones nro tho Hollerulen, the
tillllmun, the Wedd'-ll, the Foivut City,
inn Kenniird, the American, and the
Ilawley; but there are many others of
cousldernblo capacity. To meet tho de
mand for a large convention hall, Music
hall, which comfortably seats 6,000 peo
ple, was built a number of years ago,
and It Ih here that the leaguo delegates
will assemble.
